After a leisurely exploration, you’ll enjoy lunch at Hacienda Huayoccari, a picturesque estate offering stunning views and traditional Peruvian cuisine.

A Day on the Inca Trail: Arriving at Machu Picchu

One of the highlights of this expedition is trekking a one-day section of the iconic Inca Trail. This trek lets you arrive at Machu Picchu through the famous Sun Gate. Experience that first breathtaking view of the ancient city—just as the Incas did centuries ago. This exhilarating approach to the ruins is unforgettable, leaving you with a profound sense of awe and wonder at the grandeur of South America’s most renowned archaeological site.

Machu Picchu itself is nothing short of spectacular. As you explore the stone ruins, you’ll marvel at the ingenuity of the Incan civilization and their mastery of stone construction. Whether it’s the carefully crafted terraces or the sacred Temple of the Sun, Machu Picchu is a testament to the advanced architecture and profound spirituality of the Inca Empire.

Explore the Wonders of Cusco and Surrounding Areas

Cusco, the former capital of the Incan Empire, offers a blend of ancient and colonial heritage. As you stroll through the cobblestone streets, you’ll visit major Inca monuments such as Sacsayhuamán and Qorikancha while taking in the vibrant atmosphere of this charming city. Cusco’s rich history is woven into every corner, offering an unparalleled cultural immersion experience.

From Cusco, the adventure continues to Huaypo Lake, where you’ll experience the serenity of the Andes while kayaking across its glassy waters. The surrounding mountains and vibrant skies create a postcard-perfect backdrop, offering moments of peace and reflection as you glide through the still waters.

In addition to the lake, you’ll explore the agricultural marvel of the Moray Terraces, an ancient Incan agricultural laboratory, and the Maras Salt Flats, where thousands of salt pools cascade down the mountainside. These unique sites highlight the ingenuity of the Inca civilization and offer an enriching glimpse into their way of life.
